Not Your Friend (open)

[Damon Salvatore]

I take my usual place at the bar and down the glass of bourbon that's already been set in front of me.  I nod in thanks as he sets another one down.  Elena gave baby brother and I the news a few weeks ago.  Doesn't love either of us that way anymore.  Suppose I should've seen that one coming.  One thing that definitely surprised me, Elena leaving us for Elijah Mikaelson? Seriously? The moral, self-righteous, annoying elder brother.  I suppose he matches Elena's personality but come on.  Elena needs passion, danger, adventure.  Elijah's a stay at home and read a book kind of guy.  He'll bore Elena in a heartbeat, of course if she had one. I down another glass.

Walking into the Grill, it was noticeable that a lot was running through my mind. Tyler practically loves the pack and Klaus? I have no clue about him. All I knew was that I did not want to talk to either of them at that moment or for a while. They were both driving me crazy with everything that was going on. I am not a flipping prize for someone to win. I am a girl who just wants a boyfriend who cares about me. Tyler said he did, but he always talked about his pack or Klaus. Rolling my eyes a bit, I sat at the bar and just ordered a light drink to ease myself. I did not notice Damon Salvatore a dew seats down from me.

[Damon Salvatore]

I glance to my left and see Barbie. Better than no company at all. Saw you leaving the Original house yesterday. What the hell were you doing there? First thing that pops up into my mind is Klaus, but he's not here. Which leaves Rebekah. Wonder what the hell she wanted with Barbie Klaus. Then again, Barbie Klaus is living with Elena and Elizabeth, so maybe Rebekah's going soft. I down another drink and raise an eyebrow at Caroline

My eyes looked over at Damon as I rolled my eyes a bit over at him. "I was over there talking to her about...well about life. About how I left Tyler due to his love being for revenge and for that stupid pack of his." I took a quick drink of my alcoholic drink as it did burn slightly. The burn felt amazing as I then sighed softly and looked over at him. "Why do you want to know anyways Damon?" I asked in in return as I then raised my eyebrow.

[Damon Salvatore]

I raise an eyebrow. Because-your actions effect all of us. One big chain reaction. We're all unfortunately connected. I take a sip of my drink. Go for Klaus then break his heart, he takes it out on all of us. I run a hand through my hair. I know you know, Barbie. I say referring to Elena being "done" with the Salvatore brothers romantically. Looks like my love life is looking almost as bad as yours. My tone isn't really scathing. I'm not in the mood.

[Caroline Forbes]

"I heard of what has happened and I am sorry about it Damon. I truly am." I gave him a slight smile as I then took yet another drink. "Just look at it this way, maybe you and her were never meant to be together. Maybe you were meant to be with someone else...Okay this talk is ruining my mood now." I stood up with my drink in my hands as I then turned and looked at Damon. "Want to go and play some pool with me?" I asked him as I then indicated to the pool table that was in the corner right then.

[Damon Salvatore]

I raise an eyebrow and pick up my glass of bourbon before standing. Opportunity to kick your ass in public, sure. We walk over to the table and I set my drink on a table nearby. I grab a pool cue and chalk it up before racking up the balls. What are the stakes? An unintentional pun. Great. Make it interesting. I say absentmindedly.

[Caroline Forbes]

Tapping my chin a bit I was making it look like I was thinking a bit. "Okay. If I win, we go on a date. You?" I stated as I then raised my eyebrow at him as I gave him a playful smirk. The same smirk he usually gave all of us when he was being playful or just plain Damon Salvatore. I was going to take his mind off of Elena. She has caused this man so much pain. So much pain that no one should ever feel. Ever. I grabbed my pool cue/stick as I was waiting for him to say what would happen if he wins.

[Damon Salvatore]

I raise an eyebrow. I win, we go on this date, but I choose what we do. I say simply before gesturing towards the table. Ladies first. She can break. I'll win. I've been playing for over 100 years. I know the game. Interesting that she'd request a date with me. Shocking really, considering how much she's "hated me" all these years for manipulating her. I lean against the table and take a sip of my bourbon as I wait.

[Caroline Forbes]

I smiled cutely at him before I then go to the pool table. position myself as my face then went serious. Little did Damon know, but when ever I was bored I would come here and practice pool...Well, hustle people out of money. A smirk crossed my serious face as I then hit the cue ball and broke the triangle the balls were all set up in. The balls moved around the table as the yellow one ball went into a back pocket. "Did I do that?" I said as I then bashed my eyelashes at Damon as I then smirked and laughed as I took another shot, but missed. "Whoops."

[Damon Salvatore]

I smirk. Nice purposeful miss. I shake my head and position myself behind the cueball. I strike a stripe and it hits the right corner pocket. I continue hitting stripes four more times before missing. I stand back up and take a sip of my drink. I nod at Caroline. Barbie, take your best shot. I lean against the wall and smirk.

[Caroline Forbes]

"Nice miss yourself there Damon." I said as I then got behind the cue ball, which so happened to be right in front of him. "Stop looking at my ass Damon." I jokingly said to him as I then hit the ball and watched another one of my balls going in. Shot after shot was made as I then only had one more ball and the eight ball to hit in. "Looks like I could win Damon. Then I will win the bet." I stated as I then hit the ball, and missed. "And I might of just spoke way to soon right then, huh?" I laughed and shook my head.

[Damon Salvatore]

I sink the rest of my balls and smirk as I stand and look at her. I smirk. I win, Barbie. I tilt my head slightly to the side and raise an eyebrow as I down the rest of my drink. This should be interesting.

[Caroline Forbes]

I then sent down the pool cue stick and looked up at Damon as I then sipped the rest of my drink as I set the glass down onto a table. "You do win Damon. You get to pick where we go on a date. It is your choice." I crossed my arms a bit as I looked up into his blue eyes. I stayed still as I waited for him to speak and say what we were going to do. I was getting very curious and I liked it a lot.

[Damon Salvatore]

I place a twenty on the table and motion for Caroline to follow me out the door. I open the passenger door of the car for her and smirk as she looks at me almost surprised. I'm not a complete ass, Barbie. I smirk. I pride myself on being a gentleman actually. One thing that's never changed. I've always been a gentleman.
